Austin Delano, Daisy’s owner, expressed his disbelief to NBC10, questioning the reality of the situation where his dog was trapped by a tire. This unusual incident occurred while the 11-month-old canine was exploring the garage, leading to a desperate call for help to the fire department when all attempts to free her failed.
Responding swiftly, the volunteer firefighters tried various methods, including lubrication with soap, water, and oil, but as Daisy’s condition began to deteriorate, evidenced by her red eyes and labored breathing, they realized the urgency of the situation. Assistant Chief Joe Szwed of the Franklinville Fire Company described the rescue as a “race against time,” highlighting the critical moment when Lt. Brandon Volpe proposed using plasma cutters as a last resort to rescue Daisy.
In a tense operation captured in a Facebook video by the police, Daisy and the tire were transported to Volpe’s garage, where the plasma cutter was prepared. Moments later, the dog was safely extricated from her confinement.
